I teach and work at the interface of Materials Science, Materials Chemistry, and Materials Physics, with a strong emphasis on nanoscale systems and advanced functional materials. My teaching integrates fundamental principles with application-oriented understanding relevant to modern technologies. In the coming semesters, I will teach Engineering Chemistry to B.Tech first-year students, focusing on materials chemistry and nanomaterials for diverse applications. The course builds core concepts while introducing nanoscale phenomena, surface chemistry, and structure–property relationships.

At the postgraduate level, I have strong experience and interest in advanced topics such as Carbon Nanomaterials, including graphene, nanotubes, and Carbon Quantum Dots, along with materials exhibiting Quantum Confinement Effect. Emphasis is placed on how reduced dimensionality governs electronic, optical, and catalytic properties. My teaching also focuses on synthesis strategies for nanoscale systems using both top-down and bottom-up approaches, with particular attention to scalable and cost-effective routes for large-scale production of carbon nanomaterials. These include chemical vapor deposition, solution-phase synthesis, and emerging sustainable pathways.

In Energy Materials, I cover materials design for batteries, supercapacitors, and catalysis, highlighting the role of defects, interfaces, and nanostructuring in enhancing performance. I also address the mechanical properties of nanosystems, including size-dependent strength and defect-driven behavior. A key component of my courses involves advanced characterization techniques such as X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), enabling detailed structural and defect analysis. Overall, my teaching aims to develop a rigorous, research-driven understanding of materials, preparing students for advanced challenges in nanoscience and scalable materials engineering.

My Teaching Philosophy is rooted in inclusivity, conceptual clarity, and long-term intellectual development. I prioritize supporting average, underperforming, and shy students, ensuring they are not overlooked in the learning process. I believe that deep understanding of scientific principles in Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering is far more critical than short-term academic performance. Indeed, communication skills and personality are important, they can be developed over time; however, strong conceptual foundations require focused training during formative academic years. My goal is to foster critical thinking, curiosity, and innovation, enabling students to build meaningful and sustainable careers in science and engineering.
